woodlands "High Altitude Garden"

Thank you for your impressions of this!!! Rabbit Ears Pass, Colorado.

Beautuful landscape and lovely colors!

Ahh, the Wyoming-Colorado border region. When I was a little kid, my parents used to take us down here and we'd spend a couple of weeks camping in the FS campgrounds around Rabbit Ears. My mom liked to sketch, and my brothers and I were always busy building 'cabins' and 'forts' on hillsides just like this. Thanks for the great memories, and for the very beautiful photograph. Well done! Cheers! Chris

Gorgeous... the only thing better would be to be there! Thanks... Mike

 

Excellent landscape shot!

well done capture

Mark, nice Colorado scene. They are always beautiful to me. Nice composition, DOF and focus. I don't know if you know the area well. Have you recognized the RABBIT EARS? Here are 2 shots I have of them for your enjoyment. Happy shooting, Dave

PS you have some wonderful landscape shots in your porfolio.

Second shot

Thanks all for the favorable compliments. I am usually on the lookout for critiques to improve my eye for the photogenic. This is apparently photogenic considering the accolades. I also have great memories of this area. This would be my first encounter with actual wildflowers in nature. I would camp here on weekends when I lived in Littleton. I really don't know what attracted me to the area other than the abundance of flowers. I have one fair pic of the Rabbit Ears as a backdrop to some paintbrush flowers. Your image of the Ears in fall is spectacular Dave. My current mission in life is to photograph an area where Chris has not been also. I bet we could share some great stories Chris.

I admit I'm a lucky guy, Mark; growin' up in Montana, a grandmother in Santa Fe; another grandma on Cape Cod. I've lived most of my adult life in the west; with four years in the U.S. Coast Guard stationed on both the right and left coasts. Now, I'm blessed that my work allows me a lot of really great travel opportunities; and I have adult kids living in Montana, Nebraska, and North Carolina. What more could a grey-beard photographer ask for? Actually, all I ever hear from the family are groans; "OMG, there goes Dad/Grampa again; off with his camera gear..." LOL! Cheers! Chris
